Fish quenelles (Quenelles de poisson) from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume One (page 185) by Julia Child and Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I had never tasted let alone made a quenelle prior to making these and I was pleasantly surprised. They were light and creamy. My only complaint is you really didn’t taste any fish.
